Most of us has been lovers of meat. Majority of us prefer to eat meat rather than vegetables even before when we were still kids. Aside from loving the meat per se, we also love our meats to be well-done or slightly burned. According to experts, meat that has been fried, grilled and barbecued until meat is charred can form cancer-causing chemicals. People whose diets included well-done meats were over twice as likely to develop bladder cancer than those who preferred meats rare. The University of Texas investigators found the risk was highest for those who ate well-done red meat such as steaks, pork chops and bacon. It is not only true to pork but to chicken, beef and fish as well when it is eaten nearly charred. Professor Xifeng Wu, the lead author of the study said that this research reinforces the relationship between diet and cancer. The charred food contains heterocyclic amines (HCAs), one of the cancer chemicals and has raised cancer risk by more than two-and-a-half. “These results strongly support what we suspected – people who eat a lot of red meat, particularly well-done red meat, such as fried or barbecued, seem to have a higher likelihood of bladder cancer”, Professor Wu added.
